Key benefits

Most platforms have a native DRM technology that can be used for video playback with minimal effort. The use of 3rd party DRM technologies in an app often incurs a technology licensing fee which can be avoided by using the native technology. As a result, a modern premium video architecture is generally based on multi-DRM principles, optimizing for best platform coverage at minimal licensing cost.

Axinom DRM is built from the ground up to target multiple DRM technologies in a uniform manner, enabling you to target a wide range of platforms without technology licensing fees and without significant additional software development.

The DRM technologies currently targeted by Axinom are Microsoft PlayReady, Apple FairPlay Streaming and Google Widevine, with more being considered for the roadmap.

Over the last years a great deal of standardization has taken place in the content delivery and protection field, leading to the Common Encryption (CENC) and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) international standards that form the underlying pillars of a modern premium video solution.

Axinom DRM provides the maximum benefit for solutions that follow these specifications, enabling wide platform coverage to be reached without significant additional costs. It is a service that aims at the future, providing leading edge capabilities to satisfy content owner requirements and provide additional value to you.

To support existing solutions in a flexible way, backward compatibility is preserved for many previous-generation architectures and capabilities exist for integrating Axinom DRM into an existing product that was previously not DRM-capable.

The choices available in the field of players are often numerous and there are multiple players available for many modern platforms. The capabilities of different players are greatly variable, not only in the field of DRM but also when it comes to playback capabilities and features. A multi-DRM service gives you the confidence that you will be able to use the best player for the job, regardless of the DRM technology it uses.

Axinom has experience integrating different DRM-capable players into modern multiplatform solutions and can offer any relevant app development, consulting and integration. A thorough research and player comparison effort is usually desired at the start of any project, leading to a proof of concept with the most favored player that best matches the solution feature set.

For our customers it is important to reach the broadest possible audience with the best possible user experience. Therefore it is important for us to support multiple DRM technologies.

Client device platforms like TVs, PCs, tablets and smartphones in many cases work best with the respective platform’s native DRM technology. At the same time, using a non-native DRM system on client platforms often leads to subpar user experience and even may incur additional licensing costs. Axinom DRM 6 solves this out-of-the-box.
